The mission of the Minnesota Stroke Association is to raise awareness about stroke and to enhance the quality of life for all people coping with its sudden and long-term effects.

Take the My Stroke Risk Assessment
Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke; it is the third leading cause of death and the number one cause of disability in our country. However, many strokes can be prevented! The first step is knowing your risk factors and how your choices could lead you to increased chance of stroke. The Minnesota Stroke Association has developed an assessment tool to empower you to make healthier choices and raise awareness of what specific areas you can improve to lower your risk.

Click here to take your Stroke Risk Assessment to help you better understand your individual risk factors.


Join us for the ActFAST Run Team on October 8 and 9 as part of the Twin Cities Medtronic Marathon!

What does it mean to Act FAST? In the stroke community, it means recognizing the signs of stroke (Facial Drooping, Arm Weakness and Slurred Speech) and acting on them in a timely fashion by calling 911. In our daily lives, however, we can Act FAST by raising awareness of stroke's warning signs throughout our communities and across the state. Enter the Act FAST Running Team!
